[QUOTE="invitro, post: 136519, member: 446"] "This sort of thinking should be used to prevent tables form being played forever." Why? There might be a good reason, but you don't offer one. What's wrong with a situation where a few players can play a table for a very long time? Can you please say something rather than "forever"? Be accurate. No one can literally play a game forever. Do you mean 12 hrs, 3 hrs, 1 hr? There's no way to know from your post. How can you expect someone to agree or not with your statement if they don't know what you mean? I would support limits to EBs that made 3 hrs the maximum. I like 3 hr games. But I can understand not wanting to play >3 hr in order to get a top 10 score... from someone that is good enough to do that, anyway. But that is a change that would affect maybe 50 people out of the some 50,000 total. "And, as I said, this change only affects players who are good enough to tour the mirror every ball." Similar to above, there is no one that can complete the mirror on every ball. There are some that can do it on at least 50% of balls. Why not say something true rather than false? "Even without touring the mirror 20 times in one game, getting over 100 million is very possible. it's been done on real machines." I have gotten 100M on a real FH many times... that's not that high of a score. I find an actual FH (in good condition) to actually be easier than the TPA one, because its trapdoor shot is easier. "If a Funhouse was being ran on location, and people were touring the mirror every ball, and playing for 6 hours, they would definitely set this max ball per ball in play adjustment to 1, if not disable extra balls completely." If one person did this, I do not think they would. If 50 out of 50,000 people did it, they definitely would not. I doubt if they would anyway, as I have actually never seen an operator make an adjustment in a machine based on strong performances. I may regret it later, if I become capable of 12-hr games, but I favor the status quo. [/QUOTE]
